[Chorus: Mos Def]
Don't look down, it's an impossible view,
Fly like an eagle, whatever you do.
Don't look down, it's an impossible view,
Spread your wings, aerial.
[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
Head to the sky, wings raised, and
She's about to fly and take her place in
Out there in the stars when she leaves the ground.
She'll see a broken heart if she turns around,
But ain't no goin' back, this is how it must be.
He told her, she'll be burned alive, she just told him, «Trust me».
If funerals are beautiful, this ugly,
Knowin' that, he told her, “You wouldn't leave me if you loved me”,
And he knows that because he knows her.
Hard to hide his feelings, as it engulfs her,
Now she's a bright blaze, light rays,
A shootin' out, a phoenix on fire burnin' up the nightscape.
So let's hear it for our heroine,
Applaud, as her spirit just flies into the never-end.
One closed chapter, it opens up another part,
So this is more like the end, question mark.
[Chorus]
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Don't let me hold you back, I only hold you back,
We're on a dead-end street, this block has got a cul-de-sac,
So fly, baby, my baby, so high.
Sometimes it's so hard to say bye,
We made it from the alley straight up to the valley,
We pulled up to the valet, we'll teach our daughter ballet,
We'll raise us a Beyonce, maybe she'll be a Halle,
You would've been the best mom, I would have been the best Ye,
You see it all in my veins, like varicose,
I know that's very gross but we gettin' very close
To our end, though I killed most with a pen,
Soon as this flow end, I'ma let Mos begin.
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Big Sean]
How could you do it, how could you do it?
Okay, now, baby, here we go, we go, no baby, me go,
You got my heart, baby, this what it beat for,
I give it all, walk as far as my feet go.
What you mean «me go», why can't it be «we go»?
What happens when people turn to tears, huh?
Dreams turn to memories and weeks turn to years, huh?
Standin' in the same spot for a couple of weeks,
Give me my feelings back, wish love came with a couple receipts.
Man, our vacation was comin' next week,
Girl, I swear you was a trip, let's make it a couples' retreat.
How could my girl do this to me?
Woke up to a note sayin', «The world did this to me».
Now I'm testin', one-two, reportin' live from the rubble,
Drinkin' all I can so I can turn to fire when I hug you;
One, two, three, four, five models on the double,
Give me head all at once, look like they lyin' in a huddle
But it's not even half the feeling as hearin' your, “Seans, you know I love you”.
Sheddin' tears everyday, and I'm tired of lyin' in these puddles,
I ask “why?” sometimes, like a fuckin' vowel.
Been hittin' trees everyday, like a fuckin' owl,
Tryin' to get high enough to cut the clouds
Of the phoenix sun to Nash it out, I mean ash it out,
So I could see you smile,
I know you can see me now.
[Chorus]
